[ Upstream commit f84afbdd3a9e5e10633695677b95422572f920dc ]

The "cmd" comes from the user and it can be up to 255.  It it's more
than the number of bits in long, it results out of bounds read when we
check test_bit(cmd, &amp;cmd_mask).  The highest valid value for "cmd" is
ND_CMD_CALL (10) so I added a compare against that.

Some environments want to use a host tmpfs/ramdisk to back guest pmem.
While the data is not persisted relative to the host it *is* persisted
relative to guest crashes / reboots. The guest is free to use dax and
MAP_SYNC to keep filesystem metadata consistent with dax accesses
without requiring guest fsync(). The guest can also observe that the
region is volatile and skip cache flushing as global visibility is
enough to "persist" data relative to the host staying alive over guest
reset events.

Current implementation attempts to request keys from the keyring even when
security is not enabled. Change behavior so when security is disabled it
will skip key request.

Error messages seen when no keys are installed and libnvdimm is loaded:

    request-key[4598]: Cannot find command to construct key 661489677
    request-key[4606]: Cannot find command to construct key 34713726

We do check for a bad block during namespace init and that use
region bad block list. We need to initialize the bad block
for volatile regions for this to work. We also observe a lockdep
warning as below because the lock is not initialized correctly
since we skip bad block init for volatile regions.

 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

<content type='text'>
With PFN_MODE_PMEM namespace, the memmap area is allocated from the device
area. Some architectures map the memmap area with large page size. On
architectures like ppc64, 16MB page for memap mapping can map 262144 pfns.
This maps a namespace size of 16G.

When populating memmap region with 16MB page from the device area,
make sure the allocated space is not used to map resources outside this
namespace. Such usage of device area will prevent a namespace destroy.

Add resource end pnf in altmap and use that to check if the memmap area
allocation can map pfn outside the namespace. On ppc64 in such case we fallback
to allocation from memory.

This fix kernel crash reported below:

<content type='text'>
Allow arch to provide the supported alignments and use hugepage alignment only
if we support hugepage. Right now we depend on compile time configs whereas this
patch switch this to runtime discovery.

Architectures like ppc64 can have THP enabled in code, but then can have
hugepage size disabled by the hypervisor. This allows us to create dax devices
with PAGE_SIZE alignment in this case.

Existing dax namespace with alignment larger than PAGE_SIZE will fail to
initialize in this specific case. We still allow fsdax namespace initialization.

With respect to identifying whether to enable hugepage fault for a dax device,
if THP is enabled during compile, we default to taking hugepage fault and in dax
fault handler if we find the fault size &gt; alignment we retry with PAGE_SIZE
fault size.

This also addresses the below failure scenario on ppc64

ndctl create-namespace --mode=devdax  | grep align

 "align":16777216

The failure was due to guest kernel using wrong page size.

The namespaces created with 16M alignment will appear as below on a config with
16M page size disabled.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Some reworks to better support nvdimms on powerpc and an nvdimm
  security interface update:

   - Rework the nvdimm core to accommodate architectures with different
     page sizes and ones that can change supported huge page sizes at
     boot time rather than a compile time constant.

   - Introduce a distinct 'frozen' attribute for the nvdimm security
     state since it is independent of the locked state.

   - Miscellaneous fixups"
